Through Dec. 12, Wed. to Sun.: St. Ann’s Warehouse presents The Red Shoes, a one-act play for adults and brave children (8+) based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The play is adapted and directed by Emma Rice.

Following the success of last season’s Brief Encounter (now on Broadway at Studio 54), Kneehigh Theater returns to St. Ann’s Warehouse with a revision of this old tale about a girl who cannot resist her red shoes. But what happens when temptation becomes obsession? The production has been described as surreal and sensuous, a “menacing cabaret.”
